Forecasts

Iridescent (5/1), Fairoffthecross (11/2), I Don't Get It (13/2), Some Joke (13/2), Smash The Lamp (15/2), Rose Milan (8/1), Ask And Answer (17/2), Ocean Legacy (14/1), Courting Vickie (16/1), Ruhm Und Ehre (20/1), Maura Jeanne (20/1), Rosfoyle (25/1), Light Heidi (28/1), Subset (33/1), Some Venture (33/1), Ballyeden Lass (50/1), Mount Callan (66/1), Colwinston (80/1), Sumtinboutporter (80/1), Galboystown Rose (125/1), Warwickway (125/1), Agirlcalledchloe (150/1)

Having found 19f too sharp in a Naas novice last month, SMASH THE LAMP is appealing back in handicap company and returned to a trip similar to that over which she showed promise at Tipperary and Thurles in October. I Don't Get It should be in the mix once again, but he's 0-22 in this sphere and is far more exposed than the selection. Courting Vickie and Fairoffthecross are each-way players.
